If the Walkers (sorry King Power) cost £350 million, then I guess it makes NuWembley look like good value !

Not sure about having BP as a business partner either....

Stadium, hotel, car park and changes to infastructure all built within a very short space of time and all paid for by borrowed money which is to be paid off over a ridiculously long time?

Not everyone is as meticulous and prudent as the Tigers board.

The Walker costs £35m (ish). Yet again lazy journalism from the Mercury.

Also they both appear to be very unlucky in business. Redundancy, administration, Fratton Park & Nottingham. Not exactly "One Day" is it

I liked Charles very much, he was always quick with a response to queries and information when asked. I wish him well in his new business venture.

I agree Rizzo, Charles was very engaging and would welcome feedbackand give very candid and honest answers. Mr Clayton and Mr Tom are deafening in their silence with regards to two emails I have sent them now!

Yes, Charles is a top bloke and I wish him all the best in his new venture.

Northenlad - I'm surprised David hasn't got back to you as he's usually pretty good at getting back to people... Send it again as he might have been on holiday!
